Michelin Signs 3-Year A1GP Tyre Contract
Michelin is the new exclusive tyre partner to A1GP World Cup of Motorsport, starting with the 2008/09 season. The French manufacturer has signed a three-year contract and replaces Cooper Tire, which had produced A1GP’s control tyres since the series’ inception in 2005.
In a statement announcing the news, A1GP said Michelin tyre technicians had been working hard on the new project. A1GP’s new “Powered by Ferrari” car has reportedly clocked up over 4,000 kilometres on tracks in Italy and Spain on Michelin tyres since its first run in Fiorano in late May.
